Instruments: Piano Keyboard
My teaching experience begins from my college time til now. I personally love to play modern and classical music. Keep practicing and listening to different style of music is my focus to my students. Regular practice, like playing 30 to 45 minutes everyday, can lead to huge progress of learning piano. I will encourage intermediate to advanced students to the level that they want to achieve in playing piano. I will keep encouraging my students to play songs they love and so from there they will have motivation of practicing piano by themselves daily. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone Euphonium Tuba Keyboard
My teaching style is meant to cater to each students specific needs but above all else is having an understanding of what a brass musician should sound like. Many times young students only hear computerized recordings or recordings from their method books and they have not concept of what the instrument should truly sound like. The use of technology is something that I am a big fan of and resources such as YouTube is a great place to hear these recordings. Read More
Instruments: Piano Oboe
I start playing the piano when I was 5 and started playing oboe at the age of 8 in Guanran Catholic Music Elementary School in Taiwan- a school that taught music theory, ear-training, aural skills, music history, choir, and orchestra, in addition to regular academic classes. Throughout my life, I have performed as a solo and collaborative pianist, instrumental and vocal accompanist, oboist, choral singer, and conductor in various venues in US, Taiwan, China, and Italy.

I am a laid-back, patient, fun teacher, who is always looking for new ways to motivate and inspire her students. Before anything, I make sure my students are comfortable with me and relaxed. I am nurturing and creative in my lessons and aim to build my students' confidence and pride in their musical achievements while teaching self-discipline so that they will reach and celebrate many milestones. I love music, and I love helping spread that passion to my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I can accompany the student with the guitar or piano. For beginners in piano, I will typically begin with the Faber workbook. If they have their own workbook that they would like to work from, I will work with that. I teach Circle of Fifths as an early tool to cultivate an understanding of harmonic language, and make it as simple and easy as possible, until the basics become engrained. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
'm here to motivate and inspire. There is no one right approach to learning music and I'm adept at understanding how each individual learns. I can help to formulate and achieve goals or simply offer an expressive outlet that is safe, enlightening and encouraging. I offer mentorship and help with choices, in a professional or recreational capacity, within the music and entertainment fields. I facilitate the most enjoyable approach to practice so my students develop skills, confidence and a love of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute Drums Ukulele Recorder Piccolo Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I am a musician and an artist; my heart sings when music plays and I love nothing more in life than spreading the joy that music brings. In 2015, I graduated from Humboldt State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Flute Performance and a minor in Cultural Anthropology. I spent the following 5 years traveling through Europe (for flute), Trinidad & Tobago (for steel pan), and Cuba (for congas and flute). Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I encourage my students to actively listen and take notes in their lessons so that they know exactly what to practice and how to practice it. If they need me to write down a detailed list of what skill they worked on and how to practice it, I am happy to do so in a notebook, and I will give them the notes after their lesson is over. I can also write some notes in their music if necessary.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My parents were both musicians, and they started me on violin when I was five. However, I was not really inspired to pursue music as a career until I got to college. My college professor was extremely good at explaining technical concepts, and I still incorporate his principles to this day when I teach. Since my dad was principal violist of the Chicago Symphony for several years, I was inspired to continue music after hearing the orchestra perform on a regular basis.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instrument because my parents both were violin and viola players. My father was principal violist of the Chicago Symphony, and my mother was a music educator (specialized in orchestra teaching at elementary and middle schools).
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of having the opportunity to perform the violin solo of Ein Heldenleben by Richard Strauss with the Midwest Young Artists Symphony Orchestra when I was in high school. This performance can be found on Youtube. I am also proud of performing the second viola part of Bach's Brandenburg Number 6 alongside my college viola professor at a University of Michigan faculty recital. I also am grateful for all of the solo opportunities I received by performing with the Chicago Chamber Orchestra. My recorder solo highlights include performing with Music of the Baroque and giving the US premiere of Sir Malcolm Arnold's Recorder Concerto.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on what you refer to as results. After one lesson with me, you will see a little bit of progress, but it will most likely take many lessons over several years to play and perform at a higher level. The more often you take lessons and devote some time to reinforce concepts discussed on your own time, the faster you will see improvement on your instrument.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will know if your child is ready to start lessons if they tell you that they are really interested in learning the instrument and learning music. If they really do not express interest, I would recommend waiting until they decide for themself that they want to put in the time and effort to learn.
